HOUSE INFORMATION

We are so excited to see you at our production of James and the Giant Peach. This is one of those books that allows us to be creative as we solve the epic challenges of taking the audience on a journey in a peach that has to be big enough to hold lots of bugs and fly across the ocean. This is theatre at its best: creative story telling that requires the audience’s imagination. Thank you for bringing yours.

As we celebrate the new year, we remember that The Playhouse has been a part of the community since 1919. We know that our audiences have come to expect something new and different each time they enter the theatre. We are so grateful that you chose today’s performance. Theatre without you is just a group of crazy people acting a little foolish. But, because of you, we create a special experience felt by all. Thank you!

We are especially appreciative that you have brought a future theatre-goer to see a show. We know that we change individuals one life at a time. Perhaps the life we change today is yours. If you would like to be part of future productions, either backstage or as a performer, stop at the ticket office and leave your name and number. Someone will get back to you.

Again, thank you for all that you do to make The Des Moines Community Playhouse your community theatre for this year and the next.

David R. KilpatrickExecutive Director
